Twice: Confessing + being rejected
Jihyo and you would have always been really, really good friends. You guys would've met when you were around 12 and have been inseparable ever since. Once college came around you were glad you were accepted into the same one. You loved your friendship and you obviously loved Jihyo too, but you loved her like a sister. Once winter came around and exam season started you both didn't really have time to do anything besides studying but you still were able to meet occasionally and just talk about everything that's happening in your lifes, it was always really casual and easy between the both of you, but today would seem different to you. Jihyo would be weirdly nervous and looking at everyone and everything except for you. After a while you'd simply just ask her what's going on. You would be worried that she'd put too much pressure onto herself due to the exams. "Don't stress yourself Jihyo... it's gonna be okay!", you'd simply say after she wouldn't answer you, you would take her hand like you'd always do and that would be the moment she'd look up into your eyes with an expression on her face you couldn't really define but it made your heart sink. "It's... I'm not nervous because of the exams...", her voice would be shaky as if she was freezing right now. "What is it then?", you'd ask her unknowingly which would make her sigh and close her eyes. "I have to tell you something y/n... lately I've come to the conclusion that I just can't keep it in anymore, I have to get this out of my system no matter what, no matter the consequences.. maybe you'll hate me but-" "I could never hate you Jihyo... please tell me, is it this bad?", you'd ask her, completely confused, what could your best friend do to make you hate her? She takes a deep, shaky breath and opens her eyes again, looking at you as if you were the only person in the café. "I'm in love with you and I'm sorry.", she'd finally say with a rather steady voice which surprised you, but after realizing what she said you'd be completely shocked. Due to the shock you would let go of her hand which would make her whole expression change. Her rather nervous and kinda hopeful expression would change into a sad and broken one. "Jihyo I-" "it's okay! I'm sorry, haha...", she'd interrupt you, quickly shaking her head and standing up while putting her stuff into her bag with shaky fingers and tears in her eyes. She tried to overplay her obvious sadness with a smile on her face like she always would do, but you know her. "I'm sorry Jihyo... You're just.. I love you as a friend..." "I know, I-i know.. it was ridiculous of me to think you might want me too...", she'd say with a shaky voice, still with a smile on her face while trying her best not to cry. She would quickly turn around wanting to leave the place as fast as possible. "We're... we're still friends, right?", you'd ask her while holding onto her hand again to stop her from moving which would make her flinch slightly. "Uhm... yeah, of course..", she'd whisper, not looking back and letting go of your hand.
You would be in the cafeteria with your friends just eating lunch and studying for some midterms when something, or rather someone would grab your attention. A few feets away from you would be a group of friends talking quite energetic about probably something really interesting, there was one girl that grabbed your attention the most tho, Nayeon. The pretty girl was in your Maths class and you have talked to her occasionally, small talk and just general school stuff, saying you'd know her wouldn't be the right thing to say tho. The reason the girl grabbed your attention wasn't really her undeniable beautyful face but rather the way everyone was talking to her and basically circling her. The group of girls would occasionally look in your direction but you wouldn't really understand what was going on so you'd just continue eating your sandwich as if nothing is happening. After a while you'd look up to the group once again just to see Nayeon walking towards you slowly with hesitation. You'd frown a little bit at first but the smile politely at her when she would arrive in front of you. She shyly would put her hair behind her ear and smile at you too. "Hello!" "Hi!", you guys would talk a little bit before Nayeon would finally take a deep breath and start talking about what she actually wanted to talk about. "Look... I know we don't know each other that well but, well, I kinda have a crush on you?", she would say with determination on her face to finally bring that out, hope in her eyes and a smile on her face. You would be shocked for a few seconds, not really knowing how to react but after some seconds which were filled with the slowly creeping awkwardness you'd look at her with an expression which slowly made her understand. "Nayeon, I-" "it's okay! Totally okay! Definitely! Sorry, I didn't want to bother you!" "You didn-" "it's okay! Have a nice day!", she would then fastly walk away from you, still with a smile on her face but also obviously sad and close to her tears. The expression in her face actually made you feel horrible, so you'd want to go after her but her friends were faster and followed her to comfort her. You'd see her around the whole day, she would try to not look into your direction at all but you'd clearly see the hurt expression and her eyes which gave away that she's been crying.
To be that nervous like Jeongyeon was right now, wasn‘t usual for the confident, mature girl. Until now she just enjoyed talking to you about the most random things in the middle of the afternoon when she finally had time for something else than work. She loved the way you laughed, told jokes, got embarrassed about it. How your cheeks blush. Just how you seem to care for her. That night, you were both in bed, there was something new to her feelings. She wanted more, more than what you had now. She wanted you to be hers. „Y/n?“ „Yes?“, suddenly, her heart skipped a beat and she fisted the blanket. Was it so hard? „Do you want a deeper relationship? Like, two lovers?“, it was silent for a while and the longer the pause got, the more she realized the truth. „I...maybe it‘s too early, don‘t you think? I‘m not ready yet“, there was a shaking tone in your voice, you were scared you upset her but she quickly grabbed your hand and leaned against you. „It‘s okay, no pressure. But know that I‘ll be waiting.“
You and Momo would be in the same dance class together and you actually got along pretty well. She would be really nice to basically everyone and also the other way around, she's just so lovable, people just had to love her. She would be especially nice to you tho, she would always make sure to fill up your bottle and to bring you some snacks too. She would also compliment you on your dancing and never miss a chance to talk to you for some time after practice. All your friends would tell you that she definitely had some feelings for you but you'd just ignore those rumours since you genuinely thought that she was just like that, so you didn't think much of it. One day she would be extra nice to you the whole day and even walk with you to your bus station, the whole way there she would be quite nervous and much more fast paced than normally so you'd be kinda confused about the whole situation. Once you arrived at your station you still had about 3 minutes left until your bus would come. You would just laugh at some jokes she would be making and listen to her rambling as you look into her eyes. After a while she would become even more visibly nervous which would make you finally stop her rambling. "Momo, why are you so nervous? It's just me!", you'd just say with a smile on your face which would make ger fall silent for a while until she would continue. "You.. you make me kinda nervous y/n..." "why?", you'd look at her confused now which would make her sigh slightly and look away from you. "Isn't that obvious at this point?", she would ask quietly. You thought for a while and then frowned a little, were the rumours true? "Wait.. do you.. do you like me?", you'd ask her quietly too while still looking at her. She wouldn't answer you but just look at her hands while playing with them which showed how nervous she still was. "Momo, look, I really like you..", you would slowly start your sentence and you'd be interrupted by her eyes which met yours, they would be full of hope which made what you were about to say even harder. ".. but I don't like you that way, you know?", you'd basically see her whole exoression change once again and her eyes which were before filled with hope were now filled with sadness and disappointment. "But I still like you and appreciate you as a friend!" "Y-yeah, yeah I know.. it was ridiculous of me to think that you might actually like me back.." "Momo, no look-" "Your bus is here, you should get in" "Please, I don't wanna leave you here while you're still sad" "Get in the bus, please..", she would seem tired of the whole situation and also kind of humiliated in a way which would make you feel even more sorry but you'd get onto the bus after seeing how serious she was. Once you were in the bus you'd just see her sitting there at the bus station with an empty gaze and you'd hope that the next day, she won't feel as bad. (She would still continue being nice to you and complimenting you, but due to the now bitter rather than sweet taste which her words carried, really made you feel bad than good, but you in a way thought that you kinda deserved it)
Sana and you would have been working at the same café for a long time and actually got along pretty well, she would often cover shifts for you and you'd also get to work together more with her than anyone else in the team which would actually make you happy, since she really was an adorable and funny human being you enjoyed having around. Between Espressos and Americanos you guys were able to become something people would consider as close collegues and you liked it that way. Sana would be really popular amongst the customers since she was really pretty and charming so she would get hit on a lot which would always make you laugh slightly but also protect her from the sometimes creepy men that were coming in. She would always be thankful and make sure to bring you some chocolate the next time you'd work together. Eventually Sana got a little clingier towards you, which you didn't really mind but you were questioning her actions towards you a lot, did she maybe catch feels for you? You didn't really want to think of that and took it rather as a cute gesture and friendship she tried to built with you, you just hoped that she wouldn't actually make a move on you since you were in a new relationship and didn't want things to get awkward so you'd decide to tell Sana about your new relationship just to make sure you guys were on a common ground when it comes to your feelings. One day you guys were behind the counter cleaning up the coffeemaker together while there weren't too many customers and it was a pretty chill day. You were joking around occasionally when suddenly you'd hear your name being called by a familiar voice. You'd turn around confused and would be met by the bright smile of your s/o, you'd immediately return the smile and hug them tightly. They wouldn't have lots of time so you guys just talked for a little bit before they left you again after they softly pecked your lips. You would smile brightly while turning back to cleaning the coffeemaker not really noticing Sana's sudden mood change. "So... you're in a relationship?", she would ask after a while which wouldmake you look at her. "Oh, yeah! I forgot to tell you!", you'd simply say which would make her nod slightly. The whole day long she would then ignore you as much as she can or just answer you shortly. Once it was time to close the café and clean up the whole place you were left alone and you decided to confront her about her behaviour. "Sana? Did I do something or?" "No" "Are you sure?" "Yes" "... are you mad because of my partner?", you'd finally ask, you assumed it before but you were hoping that it wasn't really that, she wouldn't reply at all but simply continue cleaning. "Sana, come on, talk to me.." "I have nothing to say, it's obvious, you don't like me that way and it's okay.", she would say, surprisingly cold which would shock you for a second, she didn't openly seem really fazed but you knew she was deeply hurt. You didn't know what to say so you just continued cleaning up quietly next to her. After some quick goodbyes you parted ways. After that day you'd see her less and less, she wouldn't cover your shifts anymore and barely talk to you, you were sad about losing a precious friend, but you knew she needed the distance.
Mina usually was a pretty calm, rational thinking person that could talk to you about everything, even if it was the dumbest or most random thing or idea ever. You had plenty of text messages that were from the middle of the night. And now? Mina was lying in her bed, just had come home from your place where you had been hanging out all day, eating popcorn and watching movies while chatting about everything. A smile appeared on Mina‘s lips when she thought about the way you were crunching your nose and closing your eyes tightly whenever you had to laugh loudly. You then would clap and move your feet in a cute way. Ugh, how Mina loved the little things about you. But also the way you could always listen to what she wanted to tell you, how she was such a good listener and advice-giver. The way you were looking at her with so much interest and care. She felt safe and welcome when you were around her, a feeling that nobody else ever made her feel but you. It made her realize that she wanted to share another thing with you tonight. A thing she carried on her tongue for a while now but just couldn‘t bring herself to actually saying the words out loud, at least not in your presence. Frustrated, Mina watched the clock: 02:31am. She couldn‘t sleep and she knew that she wouldn‘t until you knew her secret. She then took out her phone and typed in your name, going to the chat. „Hey“, she typed and widened her eyes when you texted immediately back. „Hey :) What‘s up?“ What should she say? How should she say it? „Uhm..can I tell you something completely random?“ „Shoot!“ „I love...you?“ After clicking the send button, Mina‘s heart stopped beating. Oh god, it was out. Finally. She could hear her loud breathing, she was beyond nervous. 2 minutes, 5 minutes, 16 minutes passed after you had sent the message. You knew that she had read it. Suddenly, her screen was glowing but the words were going to break Mina‘s tension. „Mina you know I love you too...but definetely in a more than friendship-way. Is this awkward now? I hope you still wanna be friends?“ „Sure, of course! Don‘t mind what I said, actually. It‘s fine!“
„Thank you so much for coming over, I really need a good grade in this maths exam“, your brother told Dahyun and let her in your house. Your brother and her would be in the same class and have been friends since you three used to play together as a child. Dahyun followed him through the haqll in direction of his room when suddenly Dahyun‘s eyes were busy with something else. She couldn‘t help but peek in your room, you on the bed with your laptop and headphones on. Everytime when she was around you, she got those lightly blushed cheeks. „Hey!“, she didn‘t realize that she actually stared at you until you called her and flashed your smile at the overwhelmed girl. Your brother sighed and went to his room, he‘d wait until you two girls would be done talking. Hesitating, she came into your room, her hands playing with the shirt as she sat down on your bed, eyes immediately on you. „H-hi“, she could barely speak confidently, it was so hard not to panic when she was around you. Ever since she realised her deep feelings for you, she was aftaid of rejection, what if you didn‘t want her around anymore? What if you laughed? You definetely saw the concern on Dahyun‘s face. „What‘s wrong?“, how should she start? „I h-have to tell you something. Remember those times, we three, friends for life?“, you were confused but laughed. „Yes, what about it? Are we not friends anymore?“ „W-we are but something changed, I....feel more for-“ „No way, you have a crush on my brother!“, you gasped while Dahyun‘s eyes widened. No. „That‘s why you hang out here so much! Aww i love this!“ „No“, Dahyun interrupted you and was nearly crying. „It‘s you. I love you.“ The silence was thick and was soon a sign for her, Dahyun knew the answer. „But...we‘re friends..“ „I know, i know, this was stupid, sorry for this...Uhm I‘ll go, have to study“, she stood up from the bed, wiping her face and faking a smile which was hard to hold. She laughed through the pain in her chest. „It‘s fine! Really, it was stupid of me to bring that up...“
You would be in school at your locker trying to menage to transfer all your books from your bag to the inside of your locker without dropping too many onto the ground when you'd suddenly feel someone slightly tap your shoulder. You would simply let out a 'hm?' while you were still focused on your books and locker. You'd hear a girl voice behind you saying things but due to your locker which was taking up your whole attention you weren't properly able to catch any sort of proper words or sentences. Once you finished that really difficult task you turned around and faced the rather small girl in front of you. "Oh sorry, I didn't hear you, could you repeat what you said?", you'd ask her with a smile on your face while you scanned her quickly to see if you recognized her. You didn't really know the girl in front of you, you knew that you bumped into her once or twice and that she once helped you carry a massive amount of books into the school library but other than that you didn't really know her neither her name. "Oh... I'm okay I-" "Wait, what's your name again?", you'd ask her while closing your locker, once you faced her again you'd see how much she had actually blushed and how nervous she was which made you feel a little bit bad, you really should have remembered her name. "Uh.. I'm.. I'm Chaeyoung!", she'd say hesitatingly which would make you nod. "Yeah! Right! Exactly! Sorry, I totally forgot? So, what's up!", you'd lean against your locker and look at her with curiousity in your eyes. "Ah.. nevermind, it doesn't matter..", she'd say after a while but you simply shook your head. "No, no, tell me! Now you made me curious!", you'd say with a grin on your face which would make her look away from you. "I-" "I mean you obviously don't have to tell me anything if you don't feel comfortable, but I'm a really curious person and I-" "Ihaveacrushonyou", you would look at her with a confused expression, you didn't properly understand her since she talked really quietly and fastly. "Sorry, again?", you'd look at her while her cheeks were basically burning and taking the color of tomatoes. "I have a crush on you...", she'd say, still quietly but now a little slower so you were able to finally understand her. Since that wasn't really anything you expected to hear you fell silent for a few seconds until you spoke up. "Oh..." "I feel so stupid.." "No! No, no, please don't, it's really cute of you! It's adorable I just...", you weren't able to find the right words so you just looked into her eyes, hoping she'd understand what you were trying to bring across. She'd just nod her head slightly and force a smile onto her face. "Yeah, yeah, don't worry I-I get it!" "Please don't be sad.. I'm sorry I just-" "No it's fine..", she would bow to you slightly before she'd leave quickly. Chaeyoung would feel extremely embarrassed about the whole situation and try to get over it as quickly as possible, she would try to avoid you as much as possible not being able to handle the humiliation too well.
Your birthdayparty. Tzuyu held the invitation in her shaking hand as she was looking down on her to check if her dress was good enough for the party at your house. As she went in, she immediately was greeted by the loud music in the living room and a lot of people dancing around, talking, laughing, having drinks in their hand. Tzuyu barely knew anyone else except for you, who she was destined to confess tonight. You barely knew eachother since you only had one class together. But ever since you began to playfully flirt with her, Tzuyu‘s heart was yours. You always said things like ‚The prettiest girl, my Tzuyu, babygirl, you know i love you‘ she just couldn‘t help but fall deeper and deeper for you. Where were you? She needed to find you, finally say the words she wanted you to know for so long now. After ten minutes of desperately looking for the one, Tzuyu almost wanted to give up when she heard the most beautiful laugh that had ever filler her ears. There you were. Throwing your head back, laughing while the girl in front of you was laughing too, seemed like that girl just told you a joke. Tzuyu gulped, panic filled her when she made her way to you, straight through the people, only seeing you. She repeated the words in her head for the millionth time now. She started to getting confident, knowing what she wanted you to know, to finally making the step. But as soon as you turned around and realized the girl in the a bit too fancy dress for this kind of party, her whole confidence was blown away. „Babygirl, you made it!“, she gasped when you hugged her. „Looking like the prettiest of them all once more“, you winked at her, making her blush. Tzuyu laughed nervously and was flustered by your kind words. „Uhm...y/n? I wanted to-“ „Want a drink? Or snack, we have pizza“, you cut her off and made your way to the kitchen. Tzuyu frowned and followed you. She didn‘t want anything before the words had left her lips. „No, actually, I wanted to tell you something...“, her voice was shaking too much. This was way harder than she thought. „It‘s about..you and me, I-“ „Oh my god, I love that song, come, dance with me!“, she had no chance of explaining herself before you pulled her to the livingroom, right into the crowd. The music was too loud. Would she have to scream the words? She didn‘t like the atmosphere. Still, something in her pushed her once more. She wanted you to know by tonight. Not tomorrow, not in a year. As you were dancing and singing in front of her, she had her eyes on you, barely moving to the music. „Y/n.. I kinda have a crush on you....I have it for a long time now and it makes me crazy. I just have to let you know to feel relieved, to maybe take a step further and to consider...“, Tzuyu cut herself off when she had to realize that you weren‘t even listening. You were dancing, still singing. It was like a hit in her belly. She confessed and didn‘t even pay attention. She felt hot tears filling her eyes. When the song was done, you smiled in satisfaction and turned your eyes to her sad, pale face. You immediately frowned. „What‘s wrong, baby? Hey“, before you could reach her arm, she flinched away and after showing you a weak smile, she thanked for the invitation and went out. Maybe this wasn‘t a good idea.
